"The last few years I have paid close attention to Pye-Barker as they have acquired over 90 fire and life safety companies," said Eric Garner, CEO of Mountain Alarm. "I thought we were acquisitive with four or five acquisitions per year. I had to meet the Pye-Barker team to understand how they were performing close to twenty acquisitions a year. Almost immediately I realized that our vision for the industry, our company culture, and growth objectives were aligned. I knew partnering with Pye-Barker would allow us to continue to expand the business at a rapid pace, while providing limitless opportunity for our team."

"Mountain Alarm's ability to acquire alarm companies, elevate the customer experience, and integrate those companies into their software systems made them the perfect fit to be our platform for acquiring alarm companies," said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker.
